The 1984 Cutlass should have a carb. The four barrel carb will have a built-in fuel filter. Follow the fuel line to where it enters the carb. Right where it enters, there should be a large hex fitting. Behind the fitting, inside the carb, is a fuel filter. Virtually all auto parts stores will carry this filter. There may be another filter between the fuel pump (mounted on the engine) and the carb. If there is, it will be cylindrical in shape and likely held in place with small hose clamps. Remove and replace with any aftermarket equivalent.
